The best portable applications

Many times we have to use a computer that is not ours and we do not have at hand the applications that we usually use. And, worst of all, they do not let us download anything new and we are forced to fix ourselves with programs that we do not like: that browser that you hate, a defective text processor, the compressed files do not open ... The solution to all this is Always carry a USB with you with the portable applications you need. In .com we tell you which are the best portable applications.

Chrome

Do you need to surf the Internet and only have the Explorer installed? Google's browser, Chrome, has a portable version for browsing the web quietly. If you are from the Mozilla club, do not worry: there is also a portable version of Firefox.

Skype

A very practical application to communicate, either via chat or voice (or even with a video call ), be on the computer you are. The video conferencing app par excellence can also be carried on a USB.

VLC

If what you need is to play some multimedia file, you have the best program also in portable version. We speak, of course, of VLC, the application that opens almost any audio and video format.

Gimp

Image editing is also possible thanks to Gimp, one of the most popular programs to manipulate this type of files. It is available in portable version for Windows, OS X and Linux, so it's hard to stay out.

LibreOffice

For office automation issues there are also many options, but the most complete are without a doubt LibreOffice and OpenOffice, very practical if you are one of those who can not live without their suite of word processor, database, spreadsheet and presentations. Both have a portable version.

Thunderbird

If you are a user of Thunderbird, the email client of Mozilla, of those who can not live without it, you will not have to dispense with the program even if you are on a foreign computer. As for Firefox, Mozilla also has a portable version of Thunderbird.

7zip

Do you want to unzip a file and have you just discovered that the computer you are on has no decompressor installed? You can also carry one on the USB: there are several options, but 7zip is possibly one of the best.

uTorrent

For addicts to download via torrent or to share files via P2P, uTorrent also has its portable version. Of course, in this case you may also have to take care of the antivirus or firewall that has installed the computer.

McAfee Stinger Portable

Do you want security? You can also carry an antivirus in your pocket. One of the most popular, McAfee is also in portable version.

Minesminer

If you want to play and you miss a classic of the Windows history classics, the Minesweeper, you can also always take it on a USB to run on any computer and spend the dead hours.
